My heart brakes for this clearly innocent man and his family. I seen this story on A&E. Then read some of the things written. I have never cried so much. I wish there was something, anything I could do to help. I can only imagine the desperation his family feels. I had always wanted to go to Texas. My mother was born there. But i am so discussed by what the courts are doing in this case. And out of fear that just driving threw the state you maybe wrongfully accused of any crime they need an arrest on. I mean if they murder there own residents for crimes they don’t commit. What would they do to outsiders. EVERYONE needs to stay OUT OF TEXAS if they value there lives!!!! I just wanted to say Rodney and his family are in my prayers! I hope the State of Texas, and the governor, realize they themselves will be committing MURDER if they put this man to death. They may not be punished in this world for it. But they all will have to stand be4 God 1 day and answer for this clear cut case of MURDER they will be committing!!! I have 1 thing to say to all of you that are standing in the way of freeing that man. SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!
